Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope
From
£82.00
RRP £102.50, save £20.50 ( 20%)
The Beal Joker is the ONLY climbing rope that has been tested and passed as a full, Half and Twin rope all at the same time. Amazingly light, thin and supple for a full rope at only 9.1mm. This rope will appeal to those pushing harder grades who don't want to be held back by the rope and to mountaineers and winter walkers who want 1 light rope that they can use for anything.
Also available as a 35m rope for use as a tour, wall or confidence rope. The Joker offers a rope that is light and thin enough to be carried as a tour rope but rated as a full rope so if there is any scrambling or climbing to be done it's up to the job. The Joker, it really does do it all.
Warning - This is a performance rope for experienced users only. Due to its thin nature some belay devices for normal fatter full ropes may not be as effective as usual and some auto lock devices may not work at all. Be vigilant when using as a single strand.
Available with GOLDEN DRY TREATMENT Hydrophobic treatment
A fluoride solution is deposited on every filament of the sheath, and every filament entering into the composition of the core ropelets, by continuous process, and then heat polymerised. This means the rope will not absorb water and therefore does not get as heavy when wet, and cannot freeze. Recommended for winter use.
The 50m & 60m Beal Joker ropes now come packed inside a free rope bag. The rope bag has an adjustable shoulder strap for carrying and a fold out 1m x 1m sheet with colour coded tie points to lay the rope on when in use. A great free add on from Beal. Sorry, you do not get a rope bag with the Joker 35m.

Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: Brian McDonough, Kendal (1-2-2012)
What a great rope - I read all the reviews before buying this and agree that the only thing I can find wrong with it is that it has a tendency to kink when using it on the climbing wall - this is easily sorted out by pulling it through halfway through a session. It handles really well although as with any small diameter rope you can burn you hand if you let it run too freely. The middle is clearly marked. The free rope bag is a bonus! I am off to Spain soon and the low weight and diameter mean more space for other gear in my bag!
Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: Mitchell Musgrave, Durham (20-5-2011)
What an item, its outstanding. We recently bought 8 of these for work and they have really been punished but have stood up strong. They are so universal and extremely light! The only downside I have found is that the coating/outer suffered very quickly on limestone where other ropes didn’t appear to have taken as much abuse, but in their defence these are very supple!
I'll now be buying some for personal use having used them extensively through work!
Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: chris everson, weymouth (20-5-2011)
The joker is a diverse rope which can be used in almost any situation. I bought one for this reason and have not yet been let down as a half or single rope. It has been superb and to date I have not found it to be a problem with any of the belay devices which have been used on it.
The only downside to these ropes is they tend to kink and twist but with correct care and decent rope work this should not be a problem.
Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: MIKE LATES, isle of skye (21-2-2011)
We've labelled the 35m Joker "the Magic Rope" for our guiding work in the Cuillin. There isn't an obstacle on the Ridge that can't be overcome travelling either south to north or vice versa. Not carrying excess weight every day is very important to me and should be for anyone planning a Cuillin Ridge attempt.
The sheath lasts well despite harsh treatment when lowering and does not absorb water to a silly extent even when the dry-treatment has worn away. Handling is always excellent and kinking always stops within one or 2 outings.

Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: tom moore, Neath (8-12-2010)
I purchased these ropes as they sounded like the only answer to all possible circumstances, and they have proven to be just that.I have a pair of 60m Golden Dry Beal Jokers.
Whether at the wall, a single pitch crag, or a long day’s multi pitch excursion, as a single, double or half rope system they exceed with their lightness and slick movement. In winter or at sea cliffs the Golden Dry treatment lives up to his name and provides immense peace of mind.
They do seem to have an ability to kink and get twisted. However, if initially uncoiled in accordance to the instructions and regularly paid-out fully this is not a cause for concern. Beal recommend their use with a Black Diamond ATC device, this does seem to work a lot smoother than some other devices. However, I use a Petzl Reverso (mark 2) and find this good. The ropes are not compatible with the Petzl Gri Gri, although they do work with similar (heavier and more expensive) devices like the Edlerid Eddie.
All in all, these are great ropes for any and every circumstance! So much so I have recently purchased the 35m version for Hill / Mountain Walking work.

Reviewer: simon Willis, BUXTON (4-9-2010)
I bought the 35m joker for alpine use. I found it very light and easy to use. It didn’t seem to get wet in snow or rain which was great. It is quite a hard rope and did tend to be a bit kinky! Overall I would recommend. It is great to have such a light weight single rope.
Beal Joker 9.1mm Performance Rope Review
Reviewer: Patrick Weiß, Berlin (4-2-2010)
I bought a 70m Joker (drycover), for the extra 10m it has over my Mammut Eiger, it still comes in at 70g lighter. Hardly noticeable, but still, can't argue with that. It's allowed me to link together pitches on a couple climbs now and do raps with only one rope instead of carrying up another solely for rapping. It hasn't taken a fall yet and I'm only using it where one is unlikely to since it's not rated to take as many falls as a fatter rope.
As for feeding, I use a Black Diamond ATC guide with this rope and it feeds smoothly through the device. My partner was using the standard ATC and had no complaints either. In the event of a fall though, I'd imagine it would have had less friction than the ATC guide would have.
It coils and flakes easily as well. Hopefully with some love, this thing will last me several seasons out here in Germany.
